Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker are very distinct artists on their own. But, when the three indie musicians come together as the band boygenius, something really magical happens.

The lauded supergroup released their highly-anticipated first full-length album, called The Record, just last week.

One theme that underscores the entire record is the idea of these three friends confiding in each other. On this record, the acclaimed solo musicians combine their powers while also leaving space for each other.

Culture writers Niko Stratis and Mel Woods joined host Elamin Abdelmahmoud to get into the lore, the brilliance, and the unapologetic queer joy of boygenius.
